    No - I'm spartacus

    P.S. Sorry - couldn't resist.

    If you put the apple tree in the front garden won't you lose the apples?

    No - I'm Spartacus!

    (with apologies to all those who haven't seen the fab old film of Spartacus starring Kirk Douglas).

    BTW, Spartans are great apples but do the trees need a pollinator?

    Aww you guys. The neighbours have these as well so pollination shouldn't be a problem and it not directly next the the very front so peeps wont be nicking them. If all comes to naught then it will still fill a gap and look nice:)

    I never hear warnings not to cut trees/hedgerows in nesting season - I'm going to email RSPB ...

    A tree was damaged by wind and I'm wondering if it's a lost cause
